Educate Yourself and Take Control of Your Health
When someone is trying to reduce or eliminate their neuropathy symptoms there are some things we learned that can lengthen the time it takes to build healthy nerves.
One of the things is that some of our customers are unknowingly creating a vitamin B deficiency as a result of their daily activities. B vitamins are vital for healthy nerves!
Very often people complain first about their feet when they have neuropathy, nerve damage. The nerve to the feet is long and runs down the entire leg which looks like an awful lot of area that can be damaged.
There are many causes of this.
Here is an article on Foot Neuropathy
For most people, the ingredients in the Nerve Support with Benfotiamine provides enough nutritional support to get them the changes and results they are looking for to build nerve health.
Some people may need additional nutritional support to get those same changes and results.
Some people have trouble using Folic Acid (B9) and need the natural type of B9 or Folate.
Added ingredients give these people what they need.
People do have these symptoms and it is all because of a single nerve that can get compressed, pinched and eventually damaged. It has a name Meralgia paresthetica (also called Bernhardt Roth Syndrome) And quite often it is created by wearing skinny jeans. There are other reasons and its not just women. In fact, apparently men get it more often than women.

There are so many ways that nerves can get damaged and so many types of damage that can happen. This type of neuropathy is created by an autoimmiune problem where the immune system is creating the inflammation by attacking the body’s nerves.

Focal neuropathy by definition is to focus on one nerve. Focal Neuropathy means that only one part of the body is affected and it is usually only one nerve. The symptoms are therefore localized. Examples are carpel tunnel syndrome and Bell’s Palsy.
So what is focal neuropathy. Read the Article on Focal Neuropathy
There are specific types of neuropathy that are considered inherited.
But genetic is a matter of the DNA. It can be altered not only by what you inherit but by what can affect the DNA. Chemicals, radiation and toxins can also produce damage to the DNA either by breaking the strand or rearranging the sequence of the genes.
There are also conditions that are considered hereditary neuropathy.

Lupus is an autoimmune disease. Lupus is an incorrect autoimmune response attacking its own tissue and resulting in nerve damage or neuropathy.
What exactly is Neuropathy from Lupus
Some people have asked about the vitamin B6 they are taking as a result of using the Nerve Support Formula. This question is one that people ask about any B6 in any formula.
The Linus Pauling Institute found that adverse effects have only been documented from vitamin B6 supplements and never from food sources.
Therefore, safety concerning only the supplemental form of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine, also called pyridoxine hydrochloride) is discussed here.
Although vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin and is excreted in the urine, long-term supplementation with very high doses of pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) may result in painful neurological symptoms known as sensory neuropathy.
Symptoms include pain and numbness of the extremities and in severe cases, difficulty walking. Sensory neuropathy typically develops at doses of pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) in excess of 1,000 mg a day.
However, there have been a few case reports of individuals who developed sensory neuropathies at doses of less than 500 mg of Vitamin B6 daily over a period of months.
None of the studies in which a neurological examination was performed reported evidence of sensory nerve damage at intakes below 200 mg of pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) daily.
To prevent sensory neuropathy in virtually all individuals, the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine set the tolerable upper intake level for pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) at 100 mg/day for adults.
Please let me know if this answers any questions you might have had on this subject.
There are three types of nerves – sensory nerves, motor nerves and autonomic nerves.
Nerves carry information to and from the brain. It is the communication system of the body. The brain sends out commands to the body via the nervous system. The brain gets information from the body via the nervous system.
Every nerve in your peripheral system has a specific function, so the symptoms will depend on the type of nerves affected.
Nerves are classified into:
Sensory nerves that receive sensation, such as temperature, pain, vibration or touch, from the skin
Motor nerves that control muscle movement
Autonomic nerves that control functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, digestion and bladder
